Perfectly BLACK Icing. . . Works For Me Wednesday

There are so many "tricks" offered up on the internet for making black icing: add cocoa powder to the powdered sugar, add green food coloring first, use cherry juice to replace the water in royal icing, and on and on...

Why so many tricks? Because the black food coloring readily available, either in liquid or gel/paste form is difficult. You'll need a lot of it and it has a bitter taste.
